A cheap plastic toilet seat can support people over 200 pounds with ease. This is because the plastic is very strong and durable. Additionally, the seat is very wide and spacious, making it comfortable for larger individuals. Is there a weight limit on wall hung toilets Yes. It is hardly a toilet if you can’t poop in it. You should, however, empty it as often as possible to avoid odors, especially if you are using it for both the number 1 and the number 2. Kitty litter, sawdust, or peat moss will help to prevent odors.

Having extremely large poops may be the outcome of eating a very large meal or the result of chronic constipation that alters your bowel habits. If you are experiencing this and have tried increasing your physical activity and upping your fiber and water intake, and your poops still fill the toilet, it’s time to talk to your doctor. Why do I have to wipe again later The best thing with urine is that it is sterile, and you can dump it in your garden as soon as you relieve yourself. It is a fantastic fertilizer due to its high nitrogen concentration and will not affect the environment in any way unless you have a health condition. Diluting the urine prior to pouring it into the garden is advised. You may be using a bedside commode if you are weak, struggle with balance, or are recovering from an injury, so the last thing you want to do is injure yourself while using your unit.Just enough to prevent the smell and cover the waste completely. You do not want to look at your mess the next time you use the toilet. About half a cup should suffice. Since by the time you are emptying the waste into the barrel, there is still some moisture; it helps to have holes at the bottom of the barrel. Use a 3/16-inch bit to drill the holes or even a hot nail. The urine diverting toilets are actually starting to become really popular in Sweden where the government has a plan to use all of the urine for fertilizing instead of getting all that nitrogen into the water system. The Nomix urinen diverting toilet seat After a short-term disaster, call your Department of Sanitation for instructions on how to dispose of the waste. Originally made for anglers, it’s been a gamechanger for wild campers, festival goers and overland drivers. It contains 12 compostable liner bags with sachets of powder, each capable of turning up to 2 litres of waste into manageable gel, plus 40 biodegradable wipes.

The average toilet seat can withstand your weight, regardless of the material. A general rule of thumb is that the toilet seat can hold 300 lbs or 136 kg. However, keep in mind that 300 lbs are only a static measure. So, whether you’re weekending in a marina, alone on an anchorage, DIY-ing in a boatyard or camping with a trailer-sailer there’s a portable toilet for you.You can stop your portable toilet from smelling by regularly air out the unit, cleaning the tank with a disinfectant, and using the best possible products for effective cleaning and odor control. Be sure to use fresh straps for added odor control.

A mixture of urine and feces gives such an awful stench, and you should try to separate them as much as possible. Urine should be emptied daily, while feces will be left longer to decompose. Capacity: Having a large capacity is important if you want to be able to use the model for multiple users without having to empty and refill it too often. Make sure you look for models that can hold enough waste and have sufficient odour control.

CampingGaz, the ubiquitous supplier of butane/propane camping gas, sells a range of camping gear, including the Campingaz 20L portable toilet. The ideal cover combination is something like a damp sawdust for soaking up liquids and adding nitrogen (the bulking agent) followed by a layer of straw or similar biodegradable matter capable of absorbing moisture while allowing rain through. The carbon-to-nitrogen ratio for composting human waste is about 30-to-13. The urine just gets dumped into your yard. The fecal matter (since it is mostly solid) can be tied in a sturdy plastic bag and buried or thrown away after the disaster has passed. There is no definitive answer to this question as different toilet seats are designed to hold different weights. However, most standard toilet seats are designed to hold up to 400 pounds. Peat moss is great, but it is just more expensive than sawdust or wood chips. I especially like the sawdust smell, more so if it is from cedar. 3. Use a Fan

Most compost toilets have urine diverters, but composting toilets are really expensive, so I wouldn’t recommend them as your emergency toilet unless you can afford it. Thetford designed the original ‘Porta Potti’ and are still the major player in portable toilets today, especially amongst RV owners, many of whom get cupboards built especially to fit them. It’s important to have reasonable expectations of what using a bedside commode will be like (hint: it’s not likely to be as comfortable as using a regular toilet). However, you shouldn’t have to suffer or expect to be uncomfortable; after all, depending on your reason for needing a bedside commode, you might be using it fairly regularly. Whilst the urine will need to be emptied frequently, the solids can stay in-situ for anything from 4 weeks to a year. If you don’t have access to land for composting, and have small infrequent amounts of waste, you can double-bag the dry solids and dispose in appropriate wastebins.Space is a premium in boats and tents, so if you’re willing to squat a little lower, and empty/ fill the tanks more frequently, the Thetford Porta Potti 335 is about as compact as you can get for a flushing loo. If you find yourself having to wipe endless times after a bowel movement, don’t worry – it’s normal! It’s likely because you have poop ‘turtling’ inside your anus, so just be patient and let it all come out. And be sure to use good quality wiping materials so you can clean up properly afterwards.
